What is the central idea/Objective Summary of this text:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Albuquerque Public Schools has settled a lawsuit with a family over hair. The federal civil rights complaint filed last July claimed the student faced racial discrimination at her public middle school when she was disciplined for having “subtle streaks of purple running through her braided hair.”
The suit also accused APS of a history of bias against Black students when it comes to disciplinary measures. In 2019, a 13-year-old Black student was disciplined at school for having streaks of purple in her hair. Staff at Cleveland Middle School say it was distracting and a violation of the dress code. She was placed into in-school suspension.

“It’s a big part of our identity as people of color to wear our braids to wear our locs. It’s just a part of who we are so when you’re stripping that of us it’s just again unnecessary, dehumanizing,” said Erica Davis-Crump with the New Mexico Black Central Organizing Committee.
Elizabeth Roland, the mother of the Cleveland Middle School student, took APS to court for race-based discrimination and negligent supervision. According to court documents, other non-Black students had streaks of color in their hair but were not disciplined. The state of New Mexico and the City of Albuquerque signed into law prohibiting discrimination based on race-based hairstyles.
The Crown Act ensures statutory protection for hair texture and styles such as headdresses, braids, locs, twists, and knots in the workplace and public schools. Making this in-school suspension illegal. “I can’t speak for APS but I can speak for the city of Albuquerque and the community in saying that the fact that these issues continue to happen reminds us that education is necessary regarding the history and the backdrop of these actions,” said Torri Jacobus, managing assistant city attorney.
A spokesperson for APS says they cannot comment on if any employee disciplinary actions have been taken. The case settled this month but is waiting for a federal judge to officially sign off on it.
APS and the family’s attorney say they cannot say the amount of the agreed-upon settlement until the case is officially closed. The family has a lawsuit in state court against APS because they say the school district failed to hand over documents that fall under the Inspection of Public Records. That case is expected to go to trial in April.

“The Rose that Grew from Concrete” by Tupac Shakur


Did you hear about the rose that grew

from a crack in the concrete?

Providing nature’s law is wrong it

learned to walk without having feet.

Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,

It learned to breathe fresh air.

Long live the rose that grew from concrete

when no one else ever cared.

25 POINTS! Write a paragraph with minimum 30 words and maximum 80 words about the pa.in you feel when wearing a co.vid-19 mask (make it dram.atic pls)

Give two examples of vivid description from the following poem: When day comes, we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade?

The loss we carry. A sea we must wade.

We braved the belly of the beast.

We've learned that quiet isn't always peace, and the norms and notions of what "just" is isn't always justice.

And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it.

Somehow we do it.

Somehow we weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken, but simply unfinished.

We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president, only to find herself reciting for one.

And, yes, we are far from polished, far from pristine, but that doesn't mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect.

We are striving to forge our union with purpose.

To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man.

And so we lift our gaze, not to what stands between us, but what stands before us.

We close the divide because we know to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside.

We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another.

We seek harm to none and harmony for all.

Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true.

That even as we grieved, we grew.

That even as we hurt, we hoped.

That even as we tired, we tried.

That we'll forever be tied together, victorious.

Not because we will never again know defeat, but because we will never again sow division.

Scripture tells us to envision that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid.

If we're to live up to our own time, then victory won't lie in the blade, but in all the bridges we've made.

That is the promise to glade, the hill we climb, if only we dare.

It's because being American is more than a pride we inherit.

It's the past we step into and how we repair it.

We've seen a force that would shatter our nation, rather than share it.

Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy.

And this effort very nearly succeeded.

But while democracy can be periodically delayed, it can never be permanently defeated.

In this truth, in this faith we trust, for while we have our eyes on the future, history has its eyes on us.

This is the era of just redemption.

We feared at its inception.

We did not feel prepared to be the heirs of such a terrifying hour.

But within it we found the power to author a new chapter, to offer hope and laughter to ourselves.

So, while once we asked, how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe, now we assert, how could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?

We will not march back to what was, but move to what shall be: a country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free.

We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation, become the future.

Our blunders become their burdens.

But one thing is certain.

If we merge mercy with might, and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children's birthright.

So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left.

Every breath from my bronze-pounded chest, we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one.

We will rise from the golden hills of the West.

We will rise from the windswept Northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution.

We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states.

We will rise from the sun-baked South.

We will rebuild, reconcile, and recover.

And every known nook of our nation and every corner called our country, our people diverse and beautiful, will emerge battered and beautiful.

When day comes, we step out of the shade of flame and unafraid.

The new dawn balloons as we free it.

For there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it.

If only we're brave enough to be it.

How does Callie’s Grandfather feel about the name “Calpurnia”?

Our constitution does not copy the laws of neighbouring states; we are rather a pattern to others than imitators ourselves. Its administration favours the many instead of the few; this is why it is called a democracy. If we look to the laws, they afford equal justice to all in their private differences; if no social standing, advancement in public life falls to reputation for capacity, class considerations not being allowed to interfere with merit; nor again does poverty bar the way, if a man is able to serve the state, he is not hindered by the obscurity of his condition. The freedom which we enjoy in our government extends also to our ordinary life. There, far from exercising a jealous surveillance over each other, we do not feel called upon to be angry with our neighbour for doing what he likes, or even to indulge in those injurious looks which cannot fail to be offensive, although they inflict no positive penalty. But all this ease in our private relations does not make us lawless as citizens.

–Funeral Oration,
Pericles

Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective."

Diane’s favorite “casting character” of all time wasn’t dead, famous, or even human. In March 1997, the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., asked her to make casts of the paw and tongue of a living tiger for an exhibit. Tiger paws have sharp claws, and the tongue is sandwiched between four long, meat-ripping canine teeth. But Diane wasn’t worried about her safety, since the big cat would be tranquilized. She was more worried about the tiger. She didn’t want to harm the animal in any way. She didn’t know—yet—how to cast the body part of a living animal, especially one so large and . . . predatory.

Which line from the excerpt best illustrates that Diane is confident in her ability to solve a problem?

She didn’t know—yet—how to cast the body part of a living animal
But Diane wasn’t worried about her safety, since the big cat would be tranquilized.
She didn’t want to harm the animal in any way.

An Ancient Veggie
- By Martha Black

Onions have been around for a long time. In fact, scientists agree that onions were likely a staple in the prehistoric diet.

Onions are known to have existed in Egypt in 3500 BC. To the ancient Egyptians, onions symbolized eternity, and many pharaohs were buried alongside onions.

The ancient Greeks also believed in the power of onions. In fact, in the first century AD, a Greek physician convinced several Greek athletes that onions had a medicinal property that would make them stronger. As a result, the majority of athletes who participated in the first Olympic Games ate several pounds of onions, drank onion juice, and rubbed onions over their bodies.

In the Middle Ages, onions were prescribed to alleviate headaches and to prevent hair loss. They were also acceptable forms of payment for goods and services. They were even commonly given as wedding gifts!

Today, onions are primarily used to add flavor to our foods. Furthermore,all evidence indicates that they will continue to exist far into the future.

Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai.

Everybody knew about the foreign devils—the barbarians. Did they really exist, Manjiro wondered, or were they just the inventions of adults to get children to behave? Even he had told his younger sisters, "Go to sleep—or the barbarians will come and get you!"


But now, in the dark of night, the wind screaming as he bailed bucket after bucket of freezing water out of the boat, images of monsters crowded his imagination. Fanged monsters with long, slashing tails, dagger-sharp horns, and icy blue eyes.

Which best states why the excerpt makes the reader want to keep reading?

to find out how many sisters Manjiro left behind in Japan
to find out if the barbarians really exist and show up in the story
to find out about other types of stories adults invent for children
to find out why the boat became filled up with freezing water
